Car servicing on PCP

lucasmeister

Hello,

I've taken out a PCP on a brand new Seat in 2016 through a main dealer.

My question is, can I take the car to any old garage to get it serviced?

I've read through the finance agreement a couple of times and there's no mention regarding servicing.

It's possible that it could affect the warranty - I need to check that.

However, as there's nothing regarding servicing in the agreement, can I get it serviced anywhere and hand the car back after the term without any issues?

Thanks

VW group are one that specify main dealer servicing only IIRC.

What are you planning on doing at the end of the finance term? If you are planning to buy the car it won't be an issue.

If they think that the servicing has devalued the car below their GFV, then expect a bill for the difference.
If you can prove the servicing was done to Seat standards, using only Seat parts and fluids then you might be able to argue it away.
